Re: Midrange Jobs National Discussion

There is a reason! Below is a letter emailed to some of our so called 
representatives. They did not vote at all on this.
Also companies use out sources and h1b's to justify higher budgets and for tax 
purposes.   


Thank you for using  FAIR Congressional Task Force Mail System

Dear [recipient name was inserted here],

Abolish the Guest worker Program and form legislation punishing those who 
favor cheap foreign labor instead of advocating it. I should be on my way 
to owning my first home not owning food stamps and being 13,000 in debt! I 
have been searching for a career in IT the IBM AS/400 is my field of 
expertise and I cannot string two jobs together without being out of work 
6-8 months at a time. This is what this program is doing to US and kicking 
US in the A!!!!!!

 I own a car I cannot afford because all the jobs in my field aren't in NY.



I just finished a contract working for one month with a well known fashion 
designer who had H1B's contracted to work as their programmers. I was 
contracted for a 2-4 month assignment which ended in when I completed the 
work in six weeks as a result of pressure to finish quickly by the 
designer company. The company is Liz C. they have a 20 person staff 
from Pakistan called Visionxxx Systems who in turn contracted me to do a 
job for them (I am US Born and raised). Now under normal circumstances, I 
would have been hired eventually and trained in other areas of the company 
but not the budget conscious designer company. My assignment was done and 
they let me go. The Pakistani consulting company stayed. I am still out of 
work and now on P/A since I did not make enough money or time put in 
to file for unemployment!!!! THIS IS WHAT PROGRAMS LIKE THIS DO TO THE 
AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!!!!! 



Sincerely,

  Hi Everyone

      The issue of out-sourcing is at the heart of all the lack of adequate 
employment
  we're all experiencing these days.
      Despite all out protestations, and letters to our congress people, the 
lobbying 
  there is very powerful, and those trends continue unabated.
      It really would be preferable, if there was a national limit placed on 
corporations ,
  in respect to how much of their computer and administration work can go 
overseas.
     

      Many of the Newsnet groups, and Job agency websites are responded to on a 
very
  regular basis, by those same off-shore outfits, continually trying to scoop 
up what
  small fragments remain in the market here.

      I am a personnel recruiter, and personally spent four decades in the 
industry. 
      Being a recruiter, and an ex computer professional are not mutually 
exclusive.

      Twenty years in, and just about all the jobs in the market were Big Blue 
related,
      but it's really a rarity today.
      As previous articles to this group have shown, having 25 years experience 
,
      and excellent educational qualifications are no guarantee of finding work 
in this
      slowly shrinking market segment
      
      Keep writing letters to Congress, and don't give up the good fight

  Regards
  Ken Shields
